totally burned out on HC after playing through the new content blind, storming through all of act5-10 with my eyes closed and then getting 1-shot by act 10 kitava instantly when the fight started without having the slightest clue what killed me.

have enjoyed HC a lot with this game, but that completely unpredictable difficulty spike just made me way too salty - if you're killing act6-10 bosses in a handful of seconds and nothing has been even close to one-shotting you, and then die to something that had no clear telegraph at all... Going into Domi blind was great fun, as his instagib was at least nicely telegraphed. Malachai was a bit more muddy with the mines, but at least the major slams were still easy to observe and avoid. Kitava is just wat.

Anyway, playing casual mode this league so will no doubt realize that the a10 kitava mechanics aren't BS at all, but still - im sure im not the only one who just ragequit out of the league with that "didn't watch a youtube video before going into the fight? you are rip now" mechanic.

You flat out need 4K HP for kitawa or you'll die, if you don't know that ahead of time you're fucked.

PoE really isn't designed for blind runs

i think they nerfed kitava this patch tho, he never did his rippy fireswipe and i maneged to kill him without dying which is a first.

More turbo-lightspeed neoliberal platitudes/virtue signaling/misplaced priorities on full display.

oho

I'm not playing this league because weebsword farming burnt me out and this league seems kinda garbage tier

This league is great if you play SSF, its not for people that wanna go fast and trade their way to the top.

I am quite enjoying having something to do other than path towards an exit and hold down Q to kill everything.
Though POison stacks via Toxic Delivery are making it harder and harder to capture beasties if I'm not paying attention, - I figured that was the point.

So my rf trickster had Ngamahu drop, so I rerolled chieftain to give cyclone a go. It's loltastic, Izaro melts before added mechanics get lifted to arena and Kitava is animation locked into pulling his heart in and out without any chance to attack proper.

Edit: There's also a change to how the "Craft X mod on Y type of item" recipes work, so that you can control what base type you get by inserting one for it to act upon. It automatically scours, also, so you can use the recipe many times in a row.
